Boeing’s 787, also known as the Dreamliner, is the company’s much-heralded (and sometimes troubled ) next-generation jet. Boeing currently builds three versions: the 787-8 is the original, and the one with the most orders at the moment; the newer 787-9 is about 20 feet longer and can fly about 500 miles farther; the 787-10, which has not yet launched commercially, will be the longest of the three, with seating for up to 323 passengers park hotel charlotte and a range of about 8,080 miles.
park hotel charlotte Each one of these planes costs over $200 million, and the various versions fit between 220-300 passengers depending on the configuration. The range is around 8,000 miles for the 787-8 and 8,500 miles for the 787-9, with a cruising speed of just over 560 miles per hour.
Though the aircraft is about the same size as a 767, it uses 20% less fuel thanks to the extensive use of lighter composites in its fuselage, and aerodynamic features like raked wing-tips that improve lift. The onboard experience also features improvements such as a quieter, better-humidified cabin, larger windows and more contemporary lighting effects.
The aircraft park hotel charlotte is designed for mid- and long-haul routes where airlines don’t necessarily want to commit a larger park hotel charlotte jet such as a 777 or an A340, and is also opening up smaller airports and seasonal routes to give airlines added flexibility in their scheduling.
